11. If by any means —not implying uncertainty of the issue, but the earnestness of the struggle of faith ( 1 Corinthians 9:26 ; 1 Corinthians 9:27 ), and the urgent need of jealous self-watchfulness ( 1 Corinthians 9:27- : ). attain unto the resurrection of the dead —The oldest manuscripts read, "the resurrection from (out of) the dead," namely, the first resurrection; that of believers at Christ's coming ( 1 Corinthians 15:23 ; 1 Thessalonians 4:15 ; Revelation 20:5 ; Revelation 20:6 ).
